Jehovah's Witnesses and Hypochondria
by maputo95 inis there a link to jw involvement and hypochondria?
are people made mentally ill from their involvement in a cult?

Why Don't They Study the " Revelation..." Book at Universities
by maputo95 ini'm ploughing through "religion and the growth of western culture" by christopher dawson which is the classical study of medieval civilization and lord clark's "civilisation".
i am amazed that the wt can survey the same period of history in 26 pages in "mankind's search for god".
they are masters of precis, them bible students !

God Created Man Through Evolution
by maputo95 ini tend to believe that the book of genesis is allegorical and not historic.
the first part including the flood is a creation story similar to many others, although the jewish one has distinct insights into man's relationship with god.
another literary device employed is anthropomorphism or personification as in the talking snake,aka satan.

Validity of JW Baptism
by maputo95 inplease could someone tell me what is said in a jw baptism?
i was told that jw baptisms are invalid because they do not baptise in the "name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.
because of this invalid baptism a catholic cannot marry a jw with church approval, i think.

Please Comment on this Textual Exchange with a Jehovah's Witness
by maputo95 ini welcome any comments on the most recent dialogue i had with an ex-jw who wants to be readmitted after 44 years of disfellowship.
talk about returning to one's own... somebody stop me:there seems to be a lack of affinity and reality in our recent textual exchange on the subject, originated by you that armaggeddon is imminent or highly likely to happen very soon because signs cited in the gospel of matthew are increasing alarmingly.
derek, thank you for your concern for me and what you think is your attempt to save me by getting me to become one of jws who will be spared.
